The parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1	"Regents' Patent Rights" means The Regents’ interest in any of the patent applications listed in Appendix A attached to this Agreement and assigned to The Regents (UCLA Case No. 2007-523); any continuing applications thereof including divisions; but excluding continuations-in-part except to the extent of claims entirely supported in the specification and entitled to the priority date of the parent application; any patents issuing on these applications including reissues and reexaminations; and any corresponding foreign patents or patent applications; all of which will be automatically incorporated in and added to Appendix A and made a part of this Agreement.

1.2	"Licensed Product" means any article, composition, apparatus, substance, chemical, or any other material covered by Regents' Patent Rights or whose manufacture, use or sale would, absent the license granted under this Agreement, constitute an infringement, inducement of infringement, or contributory infringement, of any claim within Regents' Patent Rights, or any service, article, composition, apparatus, chemical, substance, or any other material made, used, or sold by or utilizing or practicing a Licensed Method. This definition of Licensed Product also includes a service either used by Licensee or sublicensee or provided by Licensee or sublicensee to its customers when such service requires the use of Licensed Product or performance of Licensed Method. If the Licensed Product is a component of another product such as a kit, composition of matter or combination, such kit, composition of matter or combination is deemed to be the Licensed Product for purposes of this Agreement. Likewise, if the Licensee or sublicensees receives a Licensed Product for incorporation into another product intended for sales, transfer, lease or other disposition, then, for the purposes of this Agreement, the Licensed Product is the product intended for sale, transfer, lease, or other disposition by recipient Licensee or sublicensee.

1.3	"Licensed Method" means any process, service, or method which is covered by Regents' Patent Rights or whose use or practice would, absent the license granted under this Agreement, constitute an infringement, inducement of infringement, or contributory infringement, of any claim within Regents' Patent Rights.

1.4	The "Field of Use" means all fields of use.

1.5	" Affiliate " means any corporation or other business entity in which Licensee owns or controls, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding stock or other voting rights entitled to elect directors. In any country where the local law does not permit foreign equity participation of at least fifty percent (50%), then "Affiliate" means any company in which Licensee owns or controls, directly or indirectly, the maximum percentage of outstanding stock or voting rights that is permitted by local law.

1.6	“Joint Venture” means any separate entity established pursuant to an agreement between a third party and the Licensee and/or Sublicensee to constitute a vehicle for a Joint Venture, in which the separate entity manufactures, uses, purchases, Sells or acquires Licensed Products from the Licensee or Sublicensee. Each reference to Licensee herein will be meant to include its Joint Venture(s), and Licensee will be responsible for all obligations of its Joint Ventures.

1.7	"First Commercial Sale" means the first sale of any Licensed Product by Licensee or sublicensee, following approval of it's marketing by the appropriate governmental agency for the country in which the sale is to be made. When governmental approval is not required, "First Commercial Sale" means the first sale in that country.

1.8	"Final Sale" means any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition or provision of a Licensed Product and/or a Licensed Method to a Customer by a Licensee or Sublicensee. A Final Sale will be deemed to have occurred upon the earliest to occur of the following (as applicable): (a) the transfer of title to such Licensed Product and/or Licensed Method to a Customer, (b) the shipment of such Licensed Product to a Customer, (c) the provision of a Licensed Method to a Customer, (d) the provision of an invoice for such Licensed Product or Licensed Method to a Customer, or (e) payment by the Customer for Licensed Products or Licensed Methods. Exchange of Licensed Products between Licensee and sublicense(s) is not a Final Sale if the Licensed Product is intended for further sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition and instead the Final Sale will be deemed to have occurred upon sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition or provision of Licensed Product by recipient to the Customer. If the Licensee or sublicense transfers Licensed Product at no cost during a clinical study, clinical trial, or as a free sample in product promotion, then such sale will not be considered a Final Sale and no royalty will be owed hereunder.

1.9	"Net Sales" means the total of the gross amount invoiced or otherwise charged (whether consisting of cash or any other forms of consideration) for all Final Sales, less the following deductions (to the extent included in and not already deducted from the gross amount invoiced or otherwise charged) to the extent reasonable and customary: cash, trade or quantity discounts actually granted to Customers; sales, use, tariff, import/export duties or other excise taxes imposed on particular sales, and value added taxes (“vat”) to the extent that such vat is incurred and not reimbursed, refunded, or credited under a tax authority; and allowances or credits to Customers because of rejections or returns. Income taxes are not an allowed deduction under Net Sales. If the Licensee, a sublicense, development partner or Joint Venture is a Customer, then Licensee will pay royalties on Net sales based on the total gross amount normally charged to other Customers in arms length transactions.

1.10	Sublicensee" means any party sublicensed by Licensee to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale or import any Licensed Product or to practice any Licensed Method.

1.11	"Sublicensing Income" means income received by Licensee under or on account of sublicenses. Sublicensing Income includes income received from Sublicensees attributable to the licensed Invention in the form of license issue fees, milestone payments, and the like but specifically excludes royalties on the sale or distribution of Licensed Products or the practice of Licensed Methods. Not included in the definition of Sublicensing Income is income received by Licensee as payment or reimbursement for research costs applied to the licensed Invention and conducted by or for Licensee, including costs of materials, equipment or clinical testing.

1.12	“Customer” means any individual or entity that receives Licensed Products or Licensed Methods, provided however, that Licensee or sublicensee shall be deemed a Customer only if it receives Licensed Products or Licensed Method that are not intended for further sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition.

3. SUBLICENSES

3.1	The Regents also grants to Licensee the right to issue exclusive or nonexclusive sublicenses ("Sublicenses") to third parties to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale or import Licensed Products and to practice Licensed Methods in any jurisdiction in which Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement, but Sublicenses will not include further right to sublicense on the part of the Sublicensee. Each Sublicense will be issued in writing. To the extent applicable, sublicenses must include all of the rights of and will require the performance of obligations due to The Regents (and, if applicable, the U.S. Government under 35 U.S. C. §§201-212) contained in this Agreement. Affiliates have no rights hereunder, unless, granted a Sublicense. For the purposes of this Agreement, operations of Sublicensees are deemed to be the operations of the Licensee, for which the Licensee is responsible.

3.2	Licensee must pay to The Regents Twenty-five percent (25%) of all Sublicensing Income.

3.3	On Net Sales of Licensed Products sold or disposed of by a Sublicensee, Licensee must pay to The Regents an earned royalty in accordance with Article 5 (Royalties) as if these were Licensee's Net Sales.

3.4	Licensee must provide to The Regents a copy of each Sublicense within thirty (30) days of execution, and a copy of all information submitted to Licensee by Sublicensees relevant to the computation of the payments due to The Regents under this Article 3.

3.5	If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, all outstanding Sublicenses not in default will be assigned by Licensee to The Regents, at the option of The Regents. The Sublicenses will remain in full force and effect with The Regents as the licensor or sublicensor instead of Licensee, but the duties of The Regents under the assigned Sublicenses will not be greater than the duties of The Regents under this Agreement, and the rights of The Regents under the assigned Sublicenses will not be less than the rights of The Regents under this Agreement, including all financial consideration and other rights of The Regents.

4. FEES

4.2	Licensee must pay to The Regents a license maintenance fee of Five thousand dollars ($5,000) beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the Effective Date of this Agreement and continuing annually on each anniversary date of the Effective Date. The maintenance fee will not be due and payable on any anniversary date of the Effective Date if on that date Licensee is commercially selling a Licensed Product and paying an earned royalty to The Regents on the sales of that Licensed Product. The license maintenance fees are non-refundable and are not an advance against royalties.

5. ROYALTIES

5.1	Licensee must pay to The Regents for sales by Licensee and sublicensees an earned royalty of Six percent (6%) of Net Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Methods.

5.2	Licensee must pay to The Regents a minimum annual royalty of Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for the life of Regents' Patent Rights, beginning one year after the First Commercial Sale of Licensed Product.

The minimum annual royalty will be credited against the earned royalty due and owing for the calendar year in which the minimum payment was made.

5.3	Royalties are payable on products covered by pending patent applications and issued patents. Royalties accrue for the duration of this Agreement.

5.4	Licensee must pay royalties owed to The Regents on a quarterly basis. Licensee must pay the royalties within two (2) months of the end of the calendar quarter in which the royalties accrued.

5.5	All monies due The Regents must be paid in United States funds. When Licensed Products are sold for monies other than United States dollars, the royalties will first be determined in the currency of the country in which the Licensed Products were sold and, second, converted into equivalent United States funds. Licensee will use the exchange rate established by the Bank of America in San Francisco, California on the last day of the calendar quarter.

5.6	Any tax for the account of The Regents required to be withheld by Licensee under the laws of any foreign country must be promptly paid by Licensee for and on behalf of The Regents to the appropriate governmental authority. Licensee will use its best efforts to furnish The Regents with proof of payment of any tax. Licensee is responsible for all bank transfer charges. All payments made by Licensee in fulfillment of The Regents' tax liability in any particular country will be credited against fees or royalties due The Regents for that country.

5.7	If at any time legal restrictions prevent the acquisition or prompt remittance of United States Dollars by Licensee with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold, the Licensee shall pay royalties due to The Regents from Licensee’s other sources of United States Dollars.

5.8	If any patent or any claim included in Regents' Patent Rights is held invalid or unenforceable in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct from it will cease as of the date of that final decision.

6.3	The Regents has the right and option to either terminate this Agreement or reduce Licensee’s exclusive license to a nonexclusive license if Licensee fails to perform any of the terms in this Paragraph 6.3. This right, if exercised by The Regents, supersedes the rights granted in Article 2 (Grant).

	6.3a	Initiate a study in humans to measure D-chiro-inositol (“DBI”) throughout pregnancy and correlate DBI levels with conventional gestational diabetes mellitus (“GDM”) assays to determine value of DBI in predicting GDM by September 1, 2010.

7. PATENT FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE

7.1	As long as Licensee is current in reimbursing patent prosecution costs, The Regents will file, prosecute and maintain the patents and applications comprising Regents' Patent Rights. These patents will be held in the name of The Regents and will be obtained with counsel of The Regents' choice. The Regents must provide Licensee with copies of each patent application, office action, response to office action, request for terminal disclaimer, and request for reissue or reexamination of any patent or patent application under Regents' Patent Rights. The Regents will consider any comments or suggestions by Licensee and will use reasonable efforts to amend patent applications to include claims reasonably requested by the License to protect the products and services contemplated under this Agreement. The Regents is entitled to take action to preserve rights and minimize costs whether or not Licensee has commented.

7.2	Patent Costs.

7.2.1	Licensee will bear all costs incurred prior to this Agreement as well as during the term of this Agreement for territories elected by Licensee pursuant to Section 7.3 of this Agreement, and invoiced to The Regents in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents in Regents' Patent Rights. Prosecution includes interferences, oppositions and any other inter partes matters originating in a patent office. Licensee must send payment to The Regents within thirty (30) days after Licensee's receipt of an invoice.

7.2.2	The Regents will use reasonable efforts to give Licensee estimates in advance for patent actions costing more than two thousand dollars ($2,000) in order to get input from Licensee regarding the performance of such activity and cost control. Reasonable efforts pursuant to this Paragraph 7.2.2 shall include: (A) providing to Licensee, after receipt by The Regents from The Regents’ outside counsel, copies of all estimates for fees and expenses to the extent such documents were not previously provided to Licensee by Regents’ outside counsel and (B) instructing its outside counsel to directly forward to Licensee, at the same time as its outside counsel forwards to The Regents and using the same means that The Regents’ outside counsel uses to forward to The Regents, copies of all estimates for fees and expenses. No later than (A) ten (10) weeks prior to the relevant patent action deadline (for example a patent filing bar date or an office action response deadline); or (B) within ten (10) business days of The Regents supplying the relevant cost estimate, whichever is first, Licensee will inform The Regents in writing whether or not it elects to proceed with the relevant patent action. If, based on the cost estimate, Licensee elects not to proceed with the relevant patent action such patent applications or the patents to which the office action applies, will then no longer be subject to this Agreement, and The Regents will be free to negotiate an agreement such as an option or license with another party for these patent applications or patent (s). The Regents will also instruct its outside counsel to send to Licensee a duplicate copy of each invoice sent by The Regents’ outside counsel to The Regents. Licensee will have fifteen (15) business days from the effective date of delivery of the invoice or billing statement pursuant to Article 19(LIMITATION OF LIABILITY), to notify The Regents if Licensee believes there are any inaccurate, excessive, or questionable charges on such invoice or billing statement. For purposes of clarity it is understood that The Regents cannot guarantee that its outside counsel will adhere to these instructions.

7.3	Licensee has the right to request patent prosecution on the Invention in foreign countries if the rights are available. Licensee must notify The Regents of its decision no later than three (3) months prior to the Chapter Two Demand and no later than three (3) months prior to the National Phase filing date indicating which territories they wish to select for prosecution. This notice must be in writing and must identify the countries desired. With the notice of election the Licensee must pay in advance The Regents patent counsel’s estimated cost of the Chapter Two Demand or the entry into National Phase in the requested territories. The absence of this notice and advance payment either for Chapter Two or for National Phase from Licensee to The Regents will be considered an election not to secure the foreign rights associated with the specific phase of patent prosecution.

7.4	Three (3) months before the Chapter Two Demand and three (3) months before National Phase filing, but not sooner, The Regents will have the right to file patent applications at its own expense in any country which Licensee has not identified in written notice provided by Paragraph 7.3. These applications and resulting patents will not be part of Regents Patent Rights and therefore not subject to this Agreement.

7.5	Licensee's obligation to underwrite and to pay all United States and foreign patent costs will continue for as long as this Agreement remains in effect. Licensee may terminate its obligations with respect to any given patent application or patent upon three (3) months written notice to The Regents. The Regents will use its best efforts to curtail patent costs chargeable to Licensee under this Agreement after this notice is received from Licensee. The Regents may continue prosecution or maintenance of these application(s) or patent(s) at its sole discretion and expense, and Licensee will have no further rights or licenses to them.


7.6	The Regents will use its best efforts to not allow any Regents' Patent Rights for which Licensee is licensed and is underwriting the costs of to lapse or become abandoned without Licensee's written authorization under Paragraph 7.5 or reasonable notice, except for the filing of continuations, divisionals, or the like which substitute for the lapsed application.

8. PATENT INFRINGEMENT

8.1	In the event that The Regents (to the extent of the actual knowledge of the licensing professional responsible for the administration of this Agreement) or the Licensee learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any patent licensed under this Agreement, the knowledgeable party will provide the other (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”). During the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where, the Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither The Regents nor the Licensee will notify a third party (including the infringer) of infringement or put such third party on notice of the existence of any Regents’ Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the other. If the Licensee puts such infringer on notice of the existence of any Regents’ Patent Rights with respect to such infringement without first obtaining the written consent of The Regents and if a declaratory judgment action is filed by such infringer against The Regents, then Licensee's right to initiate a suit against such infringer for infringement under Paragraph 8.2 below will terminate immediately without the obligation of The Regents to provide notice to the Licensee. Both The Regents and the Licensee will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.

8.2	If infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated within ninety (90) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, then the Licensee may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. The Regents may voluntarily join such suit at its own expense, but may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of the Licensee’s suit or any judgment rendered in the suit. The Licensee may not join The Regents in a suit initiated by Licensee without The Regents’ prior written consent. If, in a suit initiated by the Licensee, The Regents is involuntarily joined other than by the Licensee, then the Licensee will pay any costs incurred by The Regents arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any legal fees of counsel that The Regents selects and retains to represent it in the suit.

8.3	If, within a hundred and twenty (120) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated and if the Licensee has not brought suit against the infringer, then The Regents may institute such suit for patent infringement against the infringer. If The Regents institutes such suit, then the Licensee may not join such suit without The Regents consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for acts of infringement that are subject to The Regents suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.

8.4	Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be shared by The Regents and the Licensee equally to cover any litigation costs each incurred and next shall be paid to The Regents or the Licensee to cover any litigation costs it incurred in excess of the litigation costs of the other. In any suit initiated by the Licensee, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between Licensee and The Regents as follows: (a) for any recovery other than amounts paid for willful infringement: (i) The Regents will receive five percent (5%) of the recovery if The Regents was not a party in the litigation and did not incur any litigation costs, (ii) The Regents will receive twenty-five percent (25%) if The Regents was party in the litigation, but did not incur any litigation costs, including provisions of Paragraph 8.2 above, and (iii) The Regents will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery if The Regents incurred any litigation costs in connection with the litigation; and (b) for any recovery for willful infringement, The Regents will receive fifty percent (50%) of the recovery. In any suit initiated by The Regents, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will belong to The Regents. The Regents and the Licensee agree to be bound by all determinations of patent infringement, validity and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this Article 8 (Patent Infringement).

8.5	Any agreement made by the Licensee for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Article 3 (Sublicenses) of this Agreement.

8.6	Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party who initiated the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the parties).

8.7	Any litigation proceedings will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that The Regents may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by the Licensee.

9. PROGRESS AND ROYALTY REPORTS

9.1	Beginning January 1, 2009, Licensee must submit to The Regents semiannual progress reports covering Licensee's activities related to the development and testing of all Licensed Products and the obtaining of the governmental approvals necessary for marketing.

9.5	After the First Commercial Sale of each Licensed Product, Licensee will make quarterly royalty reports to The Regents by February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year (i.e., within two months from the end of each calendar quarter). Each royalty report will cover Licensee's most recently completed calendar quarter and must show:

	9.5a	Gross sales and Net Sales of any Licensed Product.
	9.5b	Number of each type of Licensed Product sold.
	9.5c	Royalties payable to The Regents.

9.6	Licensee will state in its royalty report if it had no sales of any Licensed Product in the applicable quarter.

10.1	Licensee must keep accurate books and records of all Licensed Products developed, manufactured, used or sold. Licensee must preserve these books and records for at least five (5) years from the date of the royalty payment to which they pertain. These books and records will be open to examination by representatives or agents of The Regents during regular office hours to determine their accuracy and assess the Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Licensee will pay fees and expenses of these inspections if an error favoring Licensee of more than five percent (5%) of the total annual royalties is discovered, otherwise The Regents will pay the fees and expenses of inspections. Payment owed by Licensee hereunder for underpayment of royalties will be due within thirty (30) days of the examination result and payment by Licensee for any examination costs incurred by The Regents will be due within thirty (30) days from the date of The Regents’ invoice.

11. LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT

11.1	Unless otherwise terminated by operation of law or by acts of the parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement is in force from the Effective Date recited on page one and remains in effect for the life of the last-to-expire patent or last to be abandoned patent application in Regents' Patent Rights, whichever is later.

If Licensee does not repair the default within sixty (60) days after the effective date of the Notice of Default, then The Regents has the right to terminate this Agreement and the License by a second written notice ("Notice of Termination") to Licensee. If The Regents sends a Notice of Termination to Licensee, then this Agreement automatically terminates on the effective date of this notice. Termination does not relieve Licensee of its obligation to pay any royalty or fees owing at the time of termination and does not impair any accrued right of The Regents.

13. TERMINATION BY LICENSEE

13.1	Licensee has the right at any time to terminate this Agreement in whole or with respect to any portion of Regents' Patent Rights by giving written notice to The Regents. This notice of termination will be subject to Article 20 (Notices) and will be effective ninety (90) days after the effective date of the notice.
